In Him was LIFE
In who? Jesus.
To truly live, we ought to be found in Jesus. This means our identity and every part of our being must be rooted in Jesus. To find life, we have to find ourselves in Him.
Then,
that life = the light of mankind
Having found LIFE in HIM, we will spread light to mankind. This life, given to us only by God, is the light of mankind. There is an important distinction here....WE are NOT the light. We are merely reflectors. My LIFE is solely dependent on Jesus. In Him was life...
John (the Baptist) was not the light
John was a witness TO the Light
We, too, are not to BE the light. Jesus is the Light!
But, as we are found in Him, we bear witness to the true source of Light.
The never-ending, glorious Light - Jesus.
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it <3
This world is dark, dreary, bleak, dry, desert, wasteland.
This world cannot overcome the Light that Jesus brings!
Hallelujah. (How un-Lutheran of me to say such a word during Lent!)
Praise be to the never-ending Light! Amen, amen, and amen.
My prayer, today, friends, is this:
to seek the Light
to find the Light
to soak in the light
to reflect the Light
Amen.
